Senate Says “No” to Medically-Accurate Sex Ed

Once again – trying to stop abortion by limiting access, rather than preventing unwanted pregnancy...

A bill to limit access to abortion for young Americans is being debated in the Senate.  In an effort to strengthen the bill, both Senators from New Jersey offered an amendment to provide funding for medically-accurate sex education that helps to delay sexual activity and give young people the information they need to make healthy decisions. They also tried to get support for programs to help parents learn how to talk with their kids about sex.  But unbelievably, I mean really unbelievably, this common sense provision could not get a majority of support in the Senate.  I honestly just do not get it – what is so terrifying about this information?  Boggles the mind.  Kudos to Senators Lautenberg and Menendez for trying.
